T minus 44 days and counting
On my 97' the obd-2 is sending back code ( P0420 ).. which I beleive is cat efficiency bank 1. i did a short search and found that this code has a wide variety of problematic possibilities. I failed dmv. inspection, I didnt even know the light was on....... being that I now have learned the bulb is dead.
I dont think 0/2 sensor can be the problem because their upstream of the cats in the exuast flow. I do feel slight lag but nothing that would raise a brow, sometime feels like the engines slightly under pressure but this isnt that uncommon specially with vehicles w/ larger that spec. tires who have yet to regear. My gas mileage has also droped considerably in the 6 mo.. kinda making it look like the converters. So Ive turned to fellow explorer enthusiasts to help.
I dont have money fallen outa my socks so im trying to be frugal. has any one had an after market exuast that might help or found the code is usualy caused by sensors or the like (BLA,BLA). any feed back helps.. thanks
if this is in the wrong forum thread i apologize im not classifing it an emergency ...worst come to worst ill reset in the parking lot line
